Dental laser company, Biolase, Inc., has launched a program with Philadelphia-based healthcare network to train students with its Waterlase technology. The pilot program will begin with Einstein Healthcare Network's residents in General Dentistry and provide them with experience with dental lasers that are commonly used in practice.

“Biolase has a deep commitment to training the next generation of dental professionals,” said John Beaver, president and chief executive officer of Biolase. “It is important for us to live out our mission of advancing dentistry by empowering the next generation of dentists from Einstein's residency program. 

“We are honored to be part of not only the residents’ future careers by arming them with innovative technologies, but also the future relationships they will build with their patients by offering a less invasive and more positive experience,” said Beaver.

Einstein’s 12- to 24-month program is a hospital-based general dentistry program that is approved by the American Dental Association. 

"We are committed to actively seeking out ways to help our residents feel fully equipped to enter into general dentistry practice after leaving our program," said Dr. George Souliman, program director of postdoctoral general dentistry department at Albert Einstein Center in Philadelphia. "Partnering with Biolase to integrate laser assisted general dentistry training early on in our residents' careers allows us to tighten the learning curve, which can positively impact a practice's bottom line and ultimately provide a better patient experience overall."
